Community Pediatric Asthma Service
Preparing for Your Appointment
Your first appointment with the Community Pediatric Asthma Service may be a telephone or virtual (Skype or Zoom) appointment before we ask you to attend a face-to-face appointment.
We mail an information package to all patients prior to their appointment. If you did not receive this package, you can call us at 403-943-9139.
Telephone Appointment
- The good news about a telephone or virtual appointment is that you can have other family members or caregivers join the call. Just have their phone number(s) handy when we call you.
